Donut Loaf (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Bread

01 - 306 g whole milk
02 - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
04 - 1 large egg, room temperature
05 - 300 g granulated sugar
06 - 250 g all-purpose flour
07 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 2 teaspoons baking powder

→ Spiced Sugar Coating

09 - 100 g granulated sugar
10 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11 - 57 g unsalted butter, melted
12 - ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven on and set it to 350°F. Use nonstick spray to coat an 8½ x 4½-inch loaf pan.
02 - Grab a big mixing bowl and toss in the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix.
03 - In another bowl, whisk the milk, room temp egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth and well blended.
04 - Slowly add the milk mixture into the dry stuff and stir lightly until just mixed. The batter should stay a little thin—don't stir a ton.
05 - Pour that batter into your greased loaf pan and spread it out so it's even.
06 - Pop the pan in your oven and bake for 60-70 minutes. You'll know it's done when you stick a toothpick in the center and it comes out mostly clean, with maybe a crumb or two on it. The top should have a nice golden color.
07 - After it's baked, let the loaf sit in its pan to cool down for around 10 minutes. Next, carefully take the bread out and move it onto a big sheet of parchment paper.
08 - Brush the melted topping butter over the warm loaf, covering the surface gently as you go.
09 - Take a small bowl and combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg for the coating.
10 - Sprinkle the sugar-spice mixture all over the butter-coated bread. Rotate the loaf as needed so every side gets covered.

# Notes:

01 - Keep any leftover sugar mix for another baking project later.
